Women, feminism, and geek culture

You know what’s hilarious AND disgusting?

Vaginas! And anything that goes in or near vaginas! If you want to be the funniest person in the world, and gross everyone out with how edgy and ewww you’re being, what you should do is compare things to menstrual products.

OMG WHO WOULD WANT TO USE SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT GOES IN/NEAR A VAGINA EWWW! HA HA! #iTampon

Also, people will think you are twelve years old. Which is awesome, because twelve-year-olds are the funniest and coolest people in the history of ever.

Mine was, anyone who menstruates? I’m not going to buy an iPad, but I still use, er, pads. Now I’m thinking, “anyone with a vagina”, thanks to the modern convenience that is underwear. So everyone except vagina’d people who go commando and gay men, I guess?

I don’t understand how these folks have apparently never heard of mousepads, or helicopter pads, or thumbpads, or any of the other *pads that you don’t hear menstrual jokes about. Weird stuff.

Ah, the V word. (And I’m not talking about the underrepresented word ‘Vulva’!) When my daughter was 5 or 6, I was going to a rehearsal for the Vagina Monologues when she asked, “When can I see you in the Vagina Catalogs?” Classic.

In any case, iPad probably isn’t the best branding for a product when you have another product called the iPod.
